Abbey Road, St. Bees, CA27 0DY

If Some Of You Love The Beach But Others Love The Fells, This Grade II Listed Barn Conversion Should Keep Everyone Happy. This immaculate stone built barn conversion is in a convenient St Bees location that has something for all members of the family.

This impressive stone built barn conversion packs plenty of character into its three substantial storeys and charming courtyard garden.

And as it’s only a 12 minute walk down to the mile long beach it’s the perfect base if you love a bracing Wim-Hof style early morning dip or taking a romantic sunset stroll along the sand.

But if you prefer pulling on stout walking boots to swimming trunks, it’s only a half an hour in the car (or just over an hour in the saddle) to Ennerdale, the nearest National Park lake.

This is a spacious and versatile family home, with four good size double bedrooms, so there should be no family fall-outs over who gets the “worst” room.

One of the bedrooms is on the middle floor where you enter, along with a w/c and a spacious living room which gives you great views over the rooftops past the Priory to the main village below.

There are a further two double bedrooms on the top floor, along with a stylish bathroom.

The ground floor has a homely and welcoming kitchen / diner, the final double bedroom, a shower room and a small utility cupboard.

You access the lovely courtyard garden from the kitchen. It’s south facing so gets the sun throughout the day, but especially in the late morning and afternoon. 

A gate leads from the garden to the single garage in a separate block and the large parking area.

St Bees can get quite busy in the summer months as it’s the start of the Coast to Coast Walk but this fantastic family home is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle, in a lovely quiet part of the village.

The independent St Bees School is just round the corner and St Bees Village Primary (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is in the main village, a pleasant 15 minute walk away.

Older kids are within the catchment for the popular West Lakes Academy in Egremont, which is around 10 minutes drive away.

Whilst there is a post office and village store in St Bees, it’s likely you’ll head to Egremont for your day-to-day needs. The town has everything you’d want, with a range of local shops and an active local community. 

Having said that, Whitehaven is only 15 minutes away in the car, where you’ll find all the bigger name stores, restaurants and takeaways.

And there’s no need to always take the car. 

The beach is less than a 15 minute walk away and if you’re heading further afield St Bees has its own station, which is only 5 minutes walk away. There are regular trains to Whitehaven, Barrow and Carlisle, where you can connect to the wider UK rail network.

If you’ve always dreamed of bringing up the kids close to the beach this surprisingly substantial barn conversion could be a fantastic long term family home. Or if you want to pass on your love of the lakes and fells, it’s an equally inspiring base.

One thing’s for sure - it’s immaculate and ready for you to move into, with plenty to keep the family occupied nearby.

Make sure you don’t miss the chance to see this unique Grade II listed property for yourselves.
